in case anyone doubts the intentions of ATF going forward, and that this is just a step in a broader effort, this is from page 2 of the ATF report:
"A change in ATF’s position on practical shooting has potential implications for rifle and handgun classifications as well.

That's not so much hinting at sinister intentions but recognizing that if practical shooting competitions are deemed "sporting," then there's a whole bunch of foreign firearms that are suddenly going to become importable. Making that determination would open the floodgates, so to speak.
